3:29 am
special people. this is an honor. this is a really honor. and i didn't want to the be here, i have to be honest. i wanted to be about five minutes away. i've enjoyed that. i've enjoyed that. all of the online polls said i have done very well with that, with the debates, and i've had a kick with it. but you have to stick up for your rights. when you're treated badly, you have to stick up for your rights. you have to do it. and whether we like it or not, whether it's something we want to do or not, and that's what our country has to do. as an example, iran the way they've been treating us with this deal, it's one of the worst deals i've ever seen negotiated under any circumstances and we just take it. we have to stick up for ourselves as people and we have to stick up for our country when we're being mistreated. remember that. and i have to go a little step
3:30 am
number of hours, actually. they wanted me there. they said how about now. can you come over. i said hasn't it already started. them start and we wanted to be about 15 minutes into that hour so by now they are all tuned in. like the academy awards. [ cheers and applause ] this is the academy awards. this is the academy awards. we're actually told we have more cameras than they do by quite a bit. so that's sort of impressive. and you know what, that's really in honor of our vets. but they have been very nice. they wanted me to go and once this started, it's for our vets, there's nothing i can do. and you know what, i don't know, is it for me personally, a good thing, a bad thing, will i get more or less votes, nobody knows, who the hell knows, but
3:31 am
going to like it because we raised over $5 million in one day! [ cheers and applause ] over $5 million. so. so, that's not so bad. you know, my whole theme is make america great again. that's what we're going to do. and we wouldn't be here if not for our vets. and our vets are being mistreated. illegal immigrants are treated better in many cases than our vets and it's not going to happen any more. not going to happen any more. so once this ball started rolling we couldn't stop it. literally this took place in less than 24 hours to do this. said, i won't do the debate out of respect for myself. i won't do it because but i love iowa.
3:32 am
i didn't know we were going to raise $5 million, we actually raised close to $6 million to be honest. but you know what i'm talking about. two years ago -- yes? [ inaudible question ] [ chanting ]. it really is too crazy, right. you know, i tell the story, i love protests at my rallies >> as for the rest of the republican field, they spent much of the night blasting donald trump. >> senator cruz before we get to the issues let's address the elephant not in the room, donald trump has chosen not to attend this evening's presidential debate what message do you think it

[ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] i want to thank everyone here for showing the men and women of iowa the respect to show up and make the case to the people of this state and the people of the country why each of us believe we would make the best commander in chief. [ cheers and applause ] >> the campaign in a sense turned into the battle for the soul of the republican party. establishment versus grass roots. pragmatic versus principle. you say you can unite all of the factions inside the g.o.p., how? >> let's begin by being clear what this campaign is about. it's not about donald trump. he's an entertaining guy. greatest show on earth. this campaign is about the
3:34 am
and a president that destroyed many of the things that made america speshlg. america special. america. barack obama wants america to be more like the rest of the world. we don't want to be like the rest the world. we want to the be the united states of america. [ cheers and applause ] and that is why hillary clinton cannot win this election. hillary clinton this week said barack obama would make a great supreme court justice, the guy who systematically violates the constitution on the supreme court. i don't think so. if i'm our nominee i will unite this party and we will defeat hillary clinton and turn this country around once and for all after the seven years that is barack obama. >> governor bush it is hard for someone of your pedigree to avoid being called establishment. isn't that part of the problem, in this race, that
3:35 am
mainstream republican vote and thereby possibly handing this nomination possibly over to an anti -- republican candidate. >> we're just starting. why not let the process work. i trust everyone to start this process out. i kind of miss donald trump. he was a teddy bear to me. we always have such a loving relationship in these debates, and tweets, i kind of miss him. wish he was here. everyone else was in protection program. when i went after him on behalf of what the republican cause should be, conservative principles, believing in limited government, believing in accountability. and leading by fixing things that are broken. my dad, greatest man alive, was president of the united states and my brother who i adore, a fantastic brother was president, fine, i'll take it, i guess i'm part of the establishment because barbara bush was my mom. i'll take that too. but this election is not about our pedigree but about people

3:39 am
suspected cases of babies born with brain defects in brazil, the question everyone is asking is could this effect the united states. >> we do not believe that there will be a major outbreak of zika in the united states, we don't want to be cavalier about it. we want to take it very seriously but if zika acts like the other types of viruses that are mosquito born that we have had experience with, we will see little mini outbreaks like in florida or texas that can be well-controlled with mosquito vector control. hopefully we will not see anything worse than that. but we have to be very vigil ant. but we have to be very vigilant again we don't expect a major outbreak in the united states. despite the fact there's considerable problems in south america, particularly in brazil where there is a widespread outbreak of zika. >> i know is overwhelmingly spread by mosquitos but at least one case come from cdc it was spread another way are you concerned about that.

3:43 am
california outlawed it after a study found gender tax cost each woman $1351 annually but no laws aimed at preventing it in retail. >> we can't legislate differences in products because it's about the market, there's a long supply chain and we don't really know who is responsible for it. >> he's a trade lawyer who says part of the problem is extra cost of women's products tacked on from the get go, women's clothing, shoes, and gloves often enter the country with higher import tax than mens. one example men's sneaker taxed at 8.5% and women's 10%. >> it might be $5 you pay uncle sam but by time it hits retail could be $10 or $13. >> this dates back to late 1800s when women's hats and gloves
